    I'll give you 3-1 odds, my 15M on Brook to your 5M on Jennings?

    I'll put 1M on Murat>Cleverley and Konecny>Rhodes as well if you want.
    Ill watch a fight or two of the guys Cleverly and Rhodes are fighting first, but I'll probably be up for sticking a 1/2M on each.

    PS Is Brook gonna have to do any time or not for that nightclub toilet thing?

      I haven't heard either way. Probably community service I'm guessing? Although with boxers sometimes the sentence is stronger because of their hands counting as weapons.

      I was hoping Rhodes would get the vacant title shot. I think he's earned it more than anyone else by fighting for the minor WBC title and an official eliminator. Margarito is rated above him despite doing fuck all in the division.

        Marg would Kill him, magic hand warps or not.

        **** shouldnt be aloud to fight again, but that was never gonna happen.

          Most likely, but someone shouldn't get a title shot based upon reputation while those who have earned their position the hard way get nothing.

            He gets the shot for the same reason he got a pathetic punishment, money+Arum. It isnt right, buts its not exactly shocking either.

            Who else is in line for it? Takes 2 for a vacant tittle shot, Chavez jnr is officially a MW now isnt he so it shouldnt be that WBC golden ticket. (like they would let him in the ring with Marg, probably why he moved up in the 1st place)

              I think Cintron is next in line. It wouldn't surprise me if that's part of why Martinez vacated. DiBella promotes both of them, and he knew it'd be an easy way to get Cintron another big fight for a belt.

              I dunno, I guess everything hinges on what Pacquiao does next. If Marg faces him then I'm not sure who fights for the belt. Marg-Cintron III would be a bit pointless from a fan's POV.

              I'm surprised Warren didn't push harder for Rhodes to fight for the title. He would've lost, but the payday would've been a good one and it's not as if Rhodes has long left in the game at his age, plus his fight with Kocency will probably not make much money when all is said and done.

                If he fought like he did against Moore, he'd have a decent shot against most 154lbers not named Cotto and Margarito (and Williams but the bigger fights for him are at MW). That was one of the best fights last year. Shame about Moore retiring.

                warren's probably figured out a way for him to get a shot at someone beatable.

                  damn this Konecny dude has fought some cans since he lost his tittle shot against Dzinziruk 2 years ago.

                    Quite frankly, this is the greatest card of of fights i've ever seen in the British domestic game.

                    Macklin and Barker was long overdue.

                    This is the best thing Frank Warren has put together in years.

                      I totally agree as long as it goes to plan that is.

                      ie: Enzo, Cleverly & Brook all win.

                      Its a pick'em between macklin & barker

                      and I dont really care for the others sexton & Chisora will never amount to anything

                      and Chunky well we have got a few years yet to see how good he will be.
